Pre-heat oven to 180°C. Grease two, 19cm x 19cm baking tins; line with baking paper.
Place FATE mix into a mixing bowl, add margarine.
Combine food colouring and water in a jug, pour into mixing bowl.
Using hand-held electric beaters, mix well, 1min, until smooth. Divide mixture evenly between two lined tins. Bake 20min, until risen and firm to touch. Turn on to a wire rack to cool.
Place cream cheese, sugar, and butter into a mixing bowl. Using electric beaters, mix well, 2 min, until smooth.
Using a sharp bread knife, slice each cake, horizontally. You will now have four layers of cake.
Place one cake layer on a large, flat serving plate. Place approx, 1/3 cup of frosting on top and spread evenly. Top with a second cake layer and repeat; place the final cake layer on top.
Coat the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting.
